Stories That Go from Eerily Scary to Funny in an InstantOver a lifetime of watching scary movies and telling urban legends around the campfire, we have primed ourselves for horror. When things go bump in the night, we assume it's a crazed intruder wanting to kill us. When we see odd lights, it's a UFO. All of us have a moment sooner or later where we just know we are in the presence of a ghost or a time warp, and the adrenaline starts pumping. When we find out what the perfectly reasonable explanation is, we are so wound up that we can't stop laughing at our own foolishness. Like this woman who needs a nightlight.Just moved into the house. Slept in the main floor bedroom the first few nights so we could paint our room. I woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. Didn't turn on the light because I "knew" where the bathroom was. All of a sudden, I'm in a pitch-black portal. I can feel the walls on either side but ahead, nothing. I called out my husband's name a couple times and asked, "Where am I? Help me." Hon, you walked into the cedar closet. Try door number two.But what do you do when you actually see things moving on their own?I was 16 and my mom worked the night shift. We lived in a small cottage deep in the woods, with no neighbors. Watching TV when I suddenly saw a book dislodge from the shelf and fall. Like Ghostbusters. Another one did the same thing. Too terrified to move, wondering if the police would believe me if I called. Finally mustered enough courage to actually walk to the shelf and have a closer look, as a third book was about to fall. The cat was behind the row of books, pushing one out with his butt every time he turned... He stared strangely at me as I almost fell to the floor, laughing hysterically.If you've had am embarrassing brush with the paranormal, you'll relate to 40 such stories posted at Bored Panda.#spooky #scary #reasonableexplanation #paranormal
